What the current Illinois rules actually say.
Kratom is legal in Illinois for individuals 18 and older under the 2014 Kratom Control Act, which permits local governments to regulate sales. Illinois applies KCPA-style rules prohibiting synthetic kratom alkaloids. In the 2025-2026 session, Rep. Marcus C. Evans Jr. introduced HB 4737, the Illinois Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which would repeal the Kratom Control Act, raise the minimum age to 21, ban synthetically derived compounds of Mitragyna speciosa, and impose civil penalties up to $10,000 for repeat violations. HB 4737 remains active in the General Assembly. Several cities continue to enforce local bans.
